        <div class="section"><h2>Maven Calm</h2>
<p>It is a cross-corporate POM, which aims to be your parent POM; out of the box, Maven Calm embeds your application within an ALM-compliant environment, giving you many useful tools to handle your application lifecycle.</p>
<p>Follow the <a href="5steps.html">5 steps guide</a> to create your CALM-enabled Google Code project; it's fast, easy and effective ;-)</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h2>How it works</h2>
<p>Maven Calm basically provides default plugin configurations, giving the possibility to override the plugin configuration values; property defaults are reported <a href="properties.html">here</a></p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h2>Join us</h2>
<p>Defining a ALM toolkit for such a <a href="http://www.zeroturnaround.com/blog/the-build-tool-report-turnaround-times-using-ant-maven-eclipse-intellij-and-netbeans/" class="externalLink">massively used</a> technology is big responsibility, therefore it must be developed with a community; Maven Calm is an Open Source project and we need your feedback in order to improve it and keep it up-to-date with new technologies.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h2>Future of Maven Calm</h2>
<p>There are basically two paths of evolution</p>
<p>1. Extend the ALM toolkit by adding new 'features', such as defaults for licensing, gpg artifacts signature and more; we're eager to hearing from you</p>
<p>2. Provide more default property sets for different environment, such as Atlassian products (jira/<a href="http://swizzle.codehaus.org/Jira+Report" class="externalLink">swizzle</a> for automatic change notifications, release notes and announcements and atlassian for site documentation)</p>
<p>The latter could be handled by introducing one profile for each property set; we're obviously looking forward to Maven 3 and exploit the new capabilities to define a component-based POM.</p>
